Lady ’Cats work to a winning season

The Lady Wildcats have been formidable this soccer season. The Wildcats started their season at the end of August and have participated in two tournaments.

One tournament was the one named after the late Katie Hunter, hosted by the Lady Wildcats, where they placed first out of nine teams from East and Middle Tennessee. They also participated in a three-day tournament in Nashville, coming in third in that contest. Overall, the team has had 16 games, winning 10, tying four and losing two.

Coach Jason Schmieg, new to Oak Ridge from North Carolina, has guided this team to this successful season. Credit lies with each team member, as each has played to standards common to Oak Ridge sports. Goalie Jasmine Rizk has kept goal with aggressive diligence this season. The senior defenders are solid and the offense has worked tirelessly in shutting out five teams this season.

Today, Oct. 8, will be the last game of regular season as the Lady Wildcats host Catholic High at home at 7 p.m. Come support these Wildcats entering into district play, as they are at the height of their game!
